Marketing Scam
Tuan Ngoc and Cam Van’s Loi Ve is a straight jack-off. I am very disappointed with Tuan Ngoc since the album released under his production (Bich Thu Van). The back cover listed twelve tracks altogether: Five from Cam Van, four from Tuan Ngoc, which could also be found on other albums of his, and three labeled as song ca (duet). I assumed that the duet is from Tuan Ngoc and Cam Van, yet it turns out to be Cam Van and her hubby Khac Trieu, and his name didn’t even get listed. Not only I don’t dislike Khac Trieu, but I also feel bad for the man who hides behind his woman’s shadow like a ghost. Cam Van is the better half when it comes to music, but sneaking in on an album without even being acknowledged is just pathetic. He only makes more obvious that he isn’t anything without her. I am in no way trying to ruin their relationship, but he needs to stand on his own feet, and handles his business like a man. If I can’t design better than my wife, I’ll go filing nails or do something else.
For some reason, I can never appreciate Tuan Ngoc no matter how I tried. From his TCS stuffs to his Ngo Thuy Mien, to whatever.. I can’t feel his vibe at all. Though, on occassion, he does have some pretty cool songs. Same goes for Khanh Ha and Luu Bich.
As for Cam Van and Khac Trieu. Khac Trieu’s Cam Van’s bitch, you can’t expect much dude. The guy can’t even deliver a proper verse w/out choking himself.
On the contrary, I think KT’s pretty good. Don’t know where to buy his CDs though.

sorry, this has nothing to do with VN music.. but i love this song and i want to share it with you.
I have not seen or heard the cd therefore can only comment based on what you have written Donny. If Khac Trieu was not acknowledged on the cd then how is that his fault? For all we know, Tuan Ngoc’s label has something to do with this oversight.
Besides, it’s not a gentlemanly thing to do commenting on somebody else’s relationship. To have such a male chauvinistic view (“if I can’t design better than my wife, I’ll go filing nails instead”)is a little suprising coming from you. I hope you were joking! I’ve enjoyed your commentary & the work you’ve done so far but not this particular time. I agree with the fact that the cd appears to be very misleading from Tuan Ngoc’s label. That is dissapointing!
Of course, I was joking about the last line, but I was not trying to ridicule about the nail job. At one point I couldn’t find a design gig, I did think about doing it because it pays well.
As for Khac Trieu, he should be able to command that his name to be appeared on the label. He has a strong enough voice to make it on his own. It’s a shamed that he lets that happened to him.
To be honest, I think that Khac Trieu is not that great a singer. However, we should all have a choice as to how we are presented & acknowledged, professionally or otherwise. Maybe he doesn’t like the attention and is happy to be known as Cam Van’s husband who sings a little. It’s not the end of the world. Relax, Donny!
No, it’s not the end of the world. Just piss that I got jacked!
Hahahahaha! Can yet get a refund?
I wish! It cost me 12 bucks, which is overpriced for an average Vietnamese album. But hey at least folks who read Visualgui.com won’t fall for it.
I could not have said it myself better. Well said KT (#4).
KT is not a professional singer. He plays drums. Cam Van and KT have never been known as a singing couples (like TP and Huy MC). KT sometimes sings in the background for his wife and for fun.
well, personally i like khac trieu’s deep, mysterious and quite sexy voice. i wish he would sing a fair bit more. hes a musician, not a singer and i dont think he ever want to be one. hes an enigma. and its best to keep it that way.
btw thu hoai, i went on that link, ohmygod it was so beautiful. thanks for sharin. will rush out to buy her album.
You are welcome Mimi. I am getting alot of clips of videos from friends of Josh Grosban and Andrea Corr. I will share with you shortly.
The song was sang live and the name of it is “Canta Villa Vista”? I think. .. It’s an Italian song and it is gorgeous.
Tuan Ngoc’s been Donny’s fave, and S’ too. But there is a big BUT. He’s been lax in his preparations and his heart doesn’t seem to be in it anymore, especially since his concerts in VN. Singing since 7 for a living, he seems tired now. Imagine Tony Bennett having to eke out a living catering to sleazy producers not known for delivering artistic quality. The mix-up in production labeling etc. stems not from TN, but likely the result of attempts from inside-VN producers and investors who wish to market their ‘con ga’, challenging the hai ngoai market.
